Obesity Myth Just because Heredity?

2011-12-20T18:53:00.000-08:00

It is undeniable there is a tendency of people who are overweight are from families who entirely bodied fertile. This phenomenon led to the belief that obesity is a descendant. Actually it's not entirely true opinion.

Dr Ruth Loos of the Centre for Medical Research Council Epidemiology from the University of Cambridge, England, argues obesity occurs in people who lack physical activity. In his research he found that people who do not work have a 40 per cent extra fat than those who work.

Although some people do have a tendency to be overweight or even obese, but the researchers found that those who have an active lifestyle can prevent obesity because of genetic reasons. The researchers made their conclusions after analyzing more than 20,000 genes of men and women ages 39-79, who then seek to find 12 key genetic markers that can increase body mass index (BMI) and obesity risk. With this, they calculate the score of "genetic predisposition" for each person. They were then asked to fill out questionnaires about their physical activity levels in the workplace and elsewhere.

The research is published in the journal PLoS Medicine concluded, "If the general obesity because the gene family could not be resisted, now with treatment guidelines, in the future be able to combat the obesity crisis," says Dr. Loos. "Our research proves that even those who have a high risk of obesity derived from the gene can improve their health by undergoing some physical activity everyday," says Dr. Loos.

Dr. Loos also added, "People do not have to run a marathon to prevent obesity. Take a walk with the dog or gardening can be one choose," he said.

In other words, genetic factors are influential on a person's risk for overweight. However, that does not mean we have to let go and consider it as "destiny" to be fat. Living a healthy diet and balanced enough physical activity will keep your body weight is always in the ideal state.

DISORDERS on the thyroid gland, particularly hypothyroidism, in pregnant women can not be taken lightly. In addition to the worst excesses such as death, hypothyroidism is not treated promptly may jeopardize the future health of the fetus at the same time.

One form of abnormal thyroid gland (gland located in the neck, just below the Adam's apple) which mainly have to watch out for the pregnant woman is hypothyroid. Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone the body as needed.

Thyroid hormone is one of the main hormones in the human metabolism. The hormone that produces energy from nutrients and oxygen so as to affect the function of all cells, tissues, and organs in the body.

Padjadjaran University Professors Prof. Dr. Dr. Sri Hartini Kariadi SpPD KS-KEMD explains, the cause of hypothyroidism is generally caused by iodine deficiency. It could also be due to radiation during treatment of the neck, side effects of drug consumption, and heredity.

Lack of thyroid hormone in the body's intake of pregnant women will also interfere with fetal growth process. Though at an early age, thyroid hormone is very useful to increase the growth and development of intelligence. If hypothyroidism is left in the long run, it is not impossible that the fetus will be born into the generation of slow in responding, mentally retarded, physically disabled even. Pregnant women who experience severe iodine deficiency can also give birth to cretins.

If the problem is lack of iodine, then the provision of iodized salt is the most inexpensive and easy action. But when the iodine intake from food is not enough to cope with hypothyroidism, can also be performed medical procedures such as surgery, administration of radioactive rays, or hormone replacement therapy.

Should Vaccinations Repeat?

2011-07-12T00:29:00.000-07:00

My daughter was accepted at the School of Nursing. I've read in the consulting room is that it recommends that physicians, dentists, and nurses before contact with patients already have antibodies against hepatitis B. My daughter has never had hepatitis B vaccination at school. Vaccination three times, and her doctor also conducts testing for antibodies after three injections. Result, the antibody is very high, reaching nearly 1,000. Because the nurse needs to have hepatitis B antibodies, then I suggest he check in the laboratory, apparently lived 100 antibody alone. May decline after the examination about four years ago.

Does my daughter need to undergo hepatitis B re-vaccination. Do injections need three times as high again first to make antibodies. In addition, I also want to ask anyone who needs to be vaccinated against hepatitis B in addition to health workers? Is now also available hepatitis C vaccine?

I've also read that the risk of a chronic hepatitis virus greater in hepatitis C compared with hepatitis B. Is that so? This I ask because I have friends who work together with liver cancer, according to doctors and cancer is caused by chronic hepatitis B disease. Apparently, until now he's just taking painkillers, there is no cure for liver cancer. Her body becomes very thin, distended stomach, and the situation is very weak. Are wives and children of my friends also need to be vaccinated with hepatitis B? (M B)

Answer

Health care workers especially care in their daily work in close contact with patients as well as the contact for a long time. Physicians who treat patients in contact with patients may be in the operating room, in the delivery room, or in the treatment room. However, contact between doctors and patients are usually not for long. In carrying out nursing care, which most closely perawatlah and prolonged contact with patients. Therefore, nurses must protect themselves from disease transmission from patients, including hepatitis B.

Health risk of contracting hepatitis B is much larger than non-health workers. Therefore, the world health agency, WHO, recommends all health care workers already have immunity (antibody to hepatitis B) before contact with patients. Because in general are now both in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry, and School of Nursing contact with the patients started in early education, then they received should, in education have been vaccinated or naturally immune.

As is known one can have immunity against hepatitis B through vaccination but also because of exposure to hepatitis B virus and the body produces antibodies that have protective benefits. Once after a successful vaccination antibodies are high, every 5 years were reviewed antibody titers. If the titer began to lower, revaccination performed only once. However, now experts say heart disease if after vaccination revealed responder (successfully forming insufficient antibody levels) no longer needed repeat vaccination. So even though the antibody titers are now only 100 IU of your daughter need not be re-hepatitis B vaccination.

Hepatitis C Vaccine

Hepatitis C vaccine has long been awaited because in addition to hepatitis B, hepatitis C can become chronic. In fact, the risk of chronic hepatitis C being much greater than hepatitis B. Liver cancer in Indonesia is largely associated with hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Liver cancer can occur as chronic hepatitis B journey.

Until now, liver cancer therapy is not yet satisfactory. Those who are at risk of contracting hepatitis C from family members are encouraged to undergo hepatitis B vaccination if not already have immunity against hepatitis B. Hepatitis B virus can be transmitted vertically (from pregnant mother to her baby) and horizontally (from person to person), such as fellow students.

Transmission of hepatitis B virus occurs through bodily fluids. The government in recent years have included hepatitis B vaccine into the vaccination program of children. That is, all Indonesian children are expected to obtain hepatitis B vaccination However, for children or adults who do not include this program should be actively checked out if they already have immunity, and if it is not advisable to undergo hepatitis B vaccination

Our vast country and its people a lot, because it is necessary that sufficient health workers to improve public health. According to Ministry of Health, about 20 percent of our health centers do not have doctors. Deployment of doctors, dentists, and nurses in our country are not yet evenly distributed. Hopefully with the increasing number of health personnel and the increased concern for the health of our brothers and sisters in remote areas, the deployment of health personnel we will be more evenly.

Caution, High Cholesterol Can Impotence

erectile disorder is caused more by psychological factors, such as stress and anxiety. However, actually many diseases that can cause men languish because his penis can not function. One is due to high cholesterol.

As is known, the work of the penis depends on the condition of blood vessels in it. Being a hard erection is determined by whether or not fit the condition of blood vessels of the penis. The more healthy blood vessels, the harder erection quality.

Therefore, it is understandable if the interference with the blood vessels, erection can fail, especially if the blood flow to the penis is reduced. If this constriction occurs in the area to the genital organs, an erection would not be maximal, could even fail.

Damage to blood vessels, among others, caused by high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Diseases that can lead to hoarding, narrowing, and hardening of the arteries.

2005 study in Sweden found that men who cholesterol levels 270 mg / dL or more have an increased risk of testicular cancer 4 times greater than men who cholesterol levels of 220 or less.

To prevent this, keep your diet, avoid smoking and doing regular exercise. Sports activities proven to effectively increase levels of good cholesterol (HDL) levels and lower bad cholesterol (LDL).

Sterols and stanols, Lowering Cholesterol

2011-06-27T00:44:00.000-07:00

When this issue of heart health seems to have become the focus of attention of many people. And one of the originators factor is cholesterol. Many health experts advise people to lose weight by exercise and eating foods high in fiber to reduce their cholesterol levels.

Even today some people have started switching to consume a wide range of supplements to lower cholesterol. However, recent research suggests that certain content in plants called sterols and stanols can help you get rid of bad cholesterol in the body.

What is Sterols and stanols?

Plant stanols and sterols are important chemical compounds contained in the cell membranes of certain plants. Sterols and stanols can be found in many fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, nuts, grains, cereals and nuts.

Sterols and stanols lower the ways Cholesterol?

If seen, sterols and stanols have a similar molecules such as cholesterol molecule. So when they (sterols and stanols) into their digestive tract to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. Therefore, with the artery-clogging, cholesterol will be immediately removed.

Stanols and sterols proven to lower levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) 6 to 15 percent. The good news is that they will not affect the "good" cholesterol (high density cholesterol - HDL). With the use of sterols and stanols on a regular basis can lower blood cholesterol levels.

So where we can find the source of sterols and stanols are good?

In general, they are readily available in nature, for example in wheat, cabbage, legumes, sunflower, sesame seeds, almonds, beans, canola, corn, and olive oil.

Meanwhile, food technology enables some foods can be fortified with plant sterols and stanols. Examples are: margarine, low-fat cheeses, crackers and chips

Number required

Sterols may provide maximum benefit when you are slightly high cholesterol levels, (where total cholesterol 200-239, 130-159 LDL), and cholesterol is very high (when total cholesterol 240, LDL, 160). For such situations, it usually takes a combination of plant sterols, either two or more.

A Program of The National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III, stating that the safe consumption is 2 to 3 grams of plant sterols and stanols. If that is done every day will reduce LDL cholesterol by 6 to 15 percent.

The best

Clinical trials have compared the effectiveness of sterols and stanols in which the results do not show a significant difference too. Whether it's the effect of triglycerides or HDL cholesterol.

Stay Alert

There are some precautions you need to know before entering sterols and stanols in your diet program:

* According to the American Journal of Cardiology, the level of carotene which also serves as a building block of vitamin A decreases when people use the plant sterols.

* High Absorption sterols and stanols in the mother can cause sitosterolemia, a rare autosomal recessive disorder is inherited, which is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease at an early age.

* Pregnant and nursing women should consult a physician before using stanols and sterols in their diet. This is because the fetotoxic effects of carotenoids and the developing brain needs cholesterol.

In addition to sterols and stanols, in fact there are many other ways that can be added into your diet program. Be sure to combine supplements with proper diet and do regular exercise to get maximum results.

Viagra for the Brain

2011-06-23T21:39:00.000-07:00

For a long time people look for "strong medicine" for the brain. Later in the science of old diseases (Geriatrics) popping the finding that the brain can be maintained its potential to consume some type of natural nutritious substances, or chemical drugs. Like what?

It is not unusual that the shrinkage of brain function with advancing age. Mr. Wir. in the past 70 years of age often complain that he became very forgetful. "What I'm senile, Doc?" He asked. Sure to be answered is not necessarily so.

The ability to remember is one of the functions of the brain. However, remember and forget can mean two. Maybe just kind of forgot the plural in the elderly (forgetfullness), or it could be true of a dementia.

Certainly not all older people must be senile. Several factors play a role in supporting it. Factor gene, for example, which makes the brain tissue instantly turn into a shriveled as occurs in Alzheimer's disease. Another case of brain function decline may be because the brain is not maintained their fitness.

Normally, in order to stay in shape, the brain needs two things: blood flow is always smoothly deliver oxygen and nutrients. For that blood itself must be healthy, normal cells, and blood curdling liquid (no aggregate).

We know, brain blood flow is influenced also by the strength of the heart pumps blood, but still intact brain blood vessel tube. Good daily menu without the pressure of blood to the brain is sufficient, or if the pipes are clogged brain arteries, it still makes brain food supply shortages. Within minutes, the lack of oxygen supply to the brain makes the brain tissue is damaged and die, so that the function of the brain is disrupted and no longer optimal.

Conversely, the blood supply to the brain sufficient but daily menus are many shortcomings, both make the brain cells are no longer fit. The way a short breathing, oxygen in the air we breathe is thin, a flood of air pollution, an origin that makes some brain cells due to shortness of breath to scream. Have not calculated the bad effects if you choose the daily menu for a minimal kind of brain food or nutritional deficiency supplier liaison between cells of the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters).

Neurotransmitters
We've known nearly a hundred types of chemical neurotransmitters to many brain functions. Shortage of one of the chemical link between cells of the brain resulting in impaired brain function. Every part of the brain function played by one of this vital chemical.

The findings of the recent happenings in love with any process, for example, found to be influenced by nuerotransmitter types of dopamine. This is equivalent to the emergence of mental disorders, obsessive-compulsive types (National Geographic, Feberuari edition 2006).

In 2000, when mapping the brain (Human Brain Mapping) managed to read, found there are parts of the brain (claustrum) is believed to be the center of the male sex (Brain G-Spot). Each time the male sexual arousal, claustrum his brain so active, and increases blood flow to it. The findings were promising would be the creation of a drug (chemical) that can trigger the brain to spicy, and male sex then so be on hold.

Long before that, brain research (after President Bush declared the 20th century as Brain Age) also found the center of the fear, the center of death, longevity centers in the brain. With the findings that means there's hope biotechnology will be able to manipulate the centers of the brain that for the purposes of the welfare of mankind.

Although the brain maintained properly, contamination can also whack from the outside, with the result that more or less the same. Free radicals are flooding from the air, daily menus, and electromagnetic waves (cell phone, electric field, the wave of the oven, display monitors, and other electronic devices) increasingly undermines the lives of modern people. Mental acuity may decline by it. Consequently, the ability to remember, learning, attention, concentration, and decision-making, becomes no longer sharp.

The brain also requires a complete supply of nutrients, particularly iron, trace element selenium, in addition to the group B vitamins, and omega-3 (DHA). Iron deficiency anemia can reduce cognitive acuity, but can occur mood disorders, anxiety, excessive fatigue when the brain is deprived of the mineral selenium.

Nootropics
Already mentioned above, in order to keep the brain working normally required optimal brain blood flow, and supply oskigen and brain food to match. In other words, brain metabolism increased.

Among the findings about the food that takes brains, it turns over ten substances are found to be very vital role, including phosphatidylserine that in addition to improving cognitive function, sense of prosperity and appearance of normal behavior was raised. With a substance that increases mental acuity.

The same efficacy was also obtained from substances vinpocetine (from seedling plants voaconga) are widely used for elderly dementia, which work by increasing blood flow to the brain, in addition to improving transport sugar to the brain cells. Then, also found ginkgosides AD from the leaves of the nutritious ginkgobiloba improve brain blood flow, in addition to repairing nerve impulses the brain.

We also know phenylalanine, the fabric of several types of neurotransmitters. While carnitine is believed to be an antioxidant inhibitor of brain aging and spur some neurotransmitters. Substance found hydergine also able to increase cerebral blood flow.

The material on classified nootropics or hyper brain function, and are now more widely used as a supplement, in addition to be used as "drugs" because of merit increases cerebral blood flow, as well as suppliers of food that is appropriate for the brain, which means increasing the metabolism of the brain.

Not Quite Red-Pill
Research particulars how memory is formed in the brain has been successfully traced. Apparently some of the substances involved in memory formation in the brain. Researcher Eric Kendel, Nobel Laureate 2000 (Memory Pharmaceuticals) managed to track down memory capacity of the brain at the molecular level. He found, it turns out the substance AMP (Adenosinemonophosphate) plays a central role in memory formation.

Further note that the type of CREB (C-AMP response element binding protein) exactly as the memory-forming substance. Over eight pharmaceutical companies then compete to create the substance of this smart, as the prime contractor memory formation in the human brain.

Actually been since the 50's began exploring the possibility of creating a "drugs" to cope with memory loss due to brain age (age-related memory loss). From there it created several new drugs to combat Alzheimer's cases. Following the class of drugs piracetam, amiracetam, oxiracetam, pramiracetam as cognitive abilities of brain-specific enhancers.

Types that affect brain neurotransmitters played by groups linopirdine, physostigmin, sabeluzole, tacrine, vasopressine, amantadine, in addition to nicotine and caffeine. The herbal ingredients appear kinds Ma-huang, oxymethanol, pyritinol, and BR-16A.

These nutritious ingredients that is now appointed as a "tonic" or "red pill" (Viagra being a "sex tonic" was dubbed the "blue pill"), who is now busy to enter the market as a reinforcing material into the brain. The amplifier here means keeping cognitive abilities (sharpen memory, attention, concentration, problem-solving, and decision making).

However, one thing must not be forgotten. Cerebral blood flow smoothly and food matching brain just is not enough if the oxygen we breathe is still inadequate. Routine activities if breathing becomes an integral part of the brain membugarkan effort.

Another thing that materials on top, not add to the brain to be smarter. Intelligence is like a glass. Each person has a glass of its own intelligence inherited from her mother and father. Upbringing, education, and life experience intelligence that will fill our glasses. Depending on how small since we are nurtured and educated, intelligent glasses belong to us to be fully charged or not, so the brain can perform optimally.

Provision of nutritious ingredients, medicine, food, beverages containing a suitable menu for the brain, just keep keoptimalan that glass is fully charged it full, and not giving the new intelligence glasses bigger.

Do not be confused, Migraines and Sinusitis

2011-06-12T22:45:00.000-07:00

Findings of health experts say, one kind of symptom can be translated into two indications of disease as well. One of them is that migraine is often suspected as a nuisance sinusitis.

Dr.Eric Erros, DO, neurologist and director of the Headache Center at Arizona's Scottsdale Neurogical Institute has done research related to the interference of the sinuses and migraine. The survey was conducted on 100 patients who reported experiencing headaches sinusitis. In fact, 89% of volunteers are actually experiencing a migraine.

Migraine and sinusitis have similar symptoms such as headache, pain in the face, nose, and watery eyes. This similarity resulted in errors of diagnosis, which resulted in medication errors.

"Usually, the only headache sufferers taking regular pain medication. In fact, these drugs are not effective at all, good for migraine sufferers and patients with sinusitis," said Brian M. Grosberg, MD, director of inpatient Headache Program at Montefiore Headache Center.

The solution, further recognize the symptoms of sinusitis and migraine. It should be understood, sinusitis is more often triggered by allergies weather. Presenting symptoms are fever, shortness of breath, a green-colored mucus in the nose.

While migraine has typical symptoms, including pain on only one side of the head, with insensitas ranging from moderate to severe. This pain is more pronounced when we do physical activity. Grosberg also add, people who experience migraine usually be very sensitive to light or sound.

When you already know what diseases they experience, then we can drop the diagnosis and treat yourself. But, if we ourselves do not believe, you should consult a doctor. Relief from the doctor will ensure we get a more appropriate treatment and effective.

Smoking Ban Reduces Asthma Score

2011-06-06T15:22:00.000-07:00

The ban on smoking in public places in Scotland began in 2006 proved to reduce the number of acute asthma in children by 18 percent per year, some researchers said on Wednesday.

Before the ban was imposed in March 2006, the number of asthma sufferers who register at the hospital increased by 5 percent per year in children under 15 years. The benefits of the ban is seen in children ages pre-school and school.

Criticism comes with say, the ban will force people not to smoke in the workplace or enclosed public spaces, but then burn the cigarettes at home to increase the risk to children.

Dr. Jill Pell of the University of Glasgow, who works in the new study, said the findings published in the New England Medical Journal proves the opposite. "Our evidence from Scotland showed the opposite effect. People are generally more accepting of the need to protect non-smokers as well as vulnerable groups such as children," Pell said in a telephone interview.

"Children less secondhand smoke. We conducted this research, hoping to see the health benefits of this phenomenon," he added.

Previous research has shown that the ban on smoking in Scotland also reduce respiratory problems among workers in bars, even among those who are actually smokers.

Pell research team obtained a conclusion based on national data of hospital care for asthma and deaths from asthma in children from January 2000 to October 2009. Only five children who died of asthma during the period.

Salted fish hooked Cancer Risk

2011-06-04T18:47:00.000-07:00

Some studies show that eating salted fish was one factor causing cancer or nasopharyngeal carcinoma. One of the substances contained in dried fish called nitrosamines is the trigger factor.

"Nitrosamines is a carcinogenic substance, which can cause cancer," said Professor of Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia Prof. Dr. Bambang Hermani, Sp. ENT-KL (K), Wednesday (01/06/2011) in Jakarta.

Nitrosamine substance will emerge in the process of salting and drying of salted fish in the hot sun. Sunlight reacts with nitrite (the reshuffle of protein) in the fish meat to form nitrosamines compounds.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of malignant tumors of head and neck region most commonly found in Indonesia. Based on the sequence in the Asian region, nasopharynx case most commonly found in southern China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

NPC is found endemic in southern China countries that predominately eating salted fish. In a study in southern China revealed that the villagers who ate lots of salted fish was higher the number of patients nasofaringnya. Especially in Europe, said Bambang, the incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer is extremely rare, even till now have not found cases of NPC in whites.

Bambang said, salted fish produced in Indonesia is still relatively safe to eat, although he advised people not to eat them too often.

"Salted fish in southern China and Indonesia is no difference. What is clear, that toxin levels. In Indonesia there has been no research that says if salted fish as a causative factor. If baseball once in a while eat nothing, the important thing is not the long term," he said.

Nasopharyngeal cancer, said Bambang, not caused by one single factor alone, but multifactorial, such as genetics, diet, nutrition, chronic disease, smoking, alcohol, smoke, dust, and Epstein Barr virus infection.

Several other factors also influence or trigger the occurrence of NPC, which is working in environments exposed to gases and industrial chemicals, iron smelting, formaldehinda, and sawdust.

Based on data from patients treated at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Jakarta, found more than 100 new cases of patients with nasopharyngeal each year. Most of the patients who came for a treatment already in an advanced stage.

6 Facts about Vitamin C Injection

2011-05-20T08:30:00.000-07:00

Intend to perform injections of vitamin C? You should know in advance the following facts, so you get maximum benefits.

1. Injectable vitamin C levels high enough to provide in the blood, but the amount will be absorbed into various organs and only partially to the skin, so that their effectiveness can vary in each person.

2. To get the most out of the skin, the act of injecting vitamin C is often used as adjunct therapy of other skin care. As for the maintenance and rejuvenation of skin to stay supple and smooth, until recently, which could give maximum results are topical therapy (therapy from the outside as well as the provision of skin cream morning and night).

3. Meeting the need for vitamin C can be done by eating fruits directly, injections, and supplements. All three have advantages and disadvantages of each. Through the injection of vitamin C the body can obtain high doses directly into the blood. However, not all high-dose vitamin C would be absorbed by the body. The rest will still be wasted through the urine. In contrast, although the dose is not high, by eating food or fruits rich in vitamin C, the body get the vitamins and other nutrients (like vitamin E and A) which can strengthen the work of vitamin C. Supplementation of vitamin C is best given in combination with vitamins and other nutrients.

4. Before the injection of vitamin C, you should make sure that the patient's kidney and liver function is normal, and no history of allergy to the vitamin. Kidney and liver function influences the absorption of vitamin C.

5. Injection of vitamin C with doses of 2-5 g by intravenous (blood vessels), can be done once a week or longer intervals with the distance (depending on physician assessment). There is no specific standard, whether the package needs to be done or not, but will see the need and indication.

Results of vitamin C injections will vary in each individual. Therapy should be discontinued if side effects appear or if the results are not significant. The effectiveness of therapy can be seen from the skin firmer, chewy, and sunny after getting this treatment within a certain time.

6. Vitamin C is quite safe to use by most people. If anything, the complaints that usually arises is diarrhea and bloating. Concerns that high dose vitamin C can cause kidney stones was not relevant because many of the scientific report. Therapy with vitamin C did not cause the formation of kidney stones. Even giving up to 10 grams per day did not show signs of kidney stone formation.

Even so, after the injection of high doses of vitamin C, a person is recommended to drink a lot. Please note, the presence of high doses of vitamin C in the body can interfere with absorption of other nutrients, such as selenium (a mineral element essential for the body), and copper (an enzyme essential for the absorption of iron), so that the body needs to get additional iron supplements- these nutrients to overcome them.

Happy Hobbies Diet Damaging

2011-05-19T15:49:00.000-07:00

One of the adverse effects of staying up is the body more quickly stretched. According to the results of a study, this is because people who like waking up to the night usually eat more and like to eat at random.

In the last 10 years, various studies on sleep underlines the importance of sleep at night and sleep duration of eight hours for adults. Maintaining a healthy sleep pattern will make the body's circadian system remains strong, making metabolic and physiological systems running smoothly.

In the new study, researchers reaffirmed the link between body weight and sleep. Researchers from Northwestern University in the U.S. examined sleep patterns and eating patterns of 52 adults.

More than half the study participants had normal sleep hours, or have a mid-sleep time at about 5.30 am. The remainder, classified in people who like to sleep late and sleep deprivation.

The group of people who sleep late (late Sleepers) consume more calories at dinner and afterwards. They are also more mengasup fast food, soft drink and rarely eat fruit and vegetables. In general, this group ate 248 calories more than those of normal sleep time.

Another habit that encountered in the late Sleepers is rare breakfast and eat in large quantities during lunch and dinner. However, it is not clear if the reason the selection menu that is not healthy because it is the participants' own choice or lack of other menu options.

Dr. Phyllis Zee, a senior researcher in the study stated, when the time sleeping and eating patterns are not in accordance with the body's biological clock, it can cause changes in metabolism and appetite.
